14 DAY TRIAL // As rumored back in December last year, Jessica Simpson has joined Weight Watchers in a bid to lose the pregnancy weight and bounce back in shape. Jessica herself confirms this both on her Facebook page and in an interview with People magazine.
The latest issue of the celebrity magazine brings a lengthy interview with the new mom, as well as the first photo spread of Jessica, Eric Johnson, and their adorable daughter Maxwell.
When she's not gushing about her child and the joys of motherhood, Jessica talks about recovering from her C-section, which wasn't as easy as she imagined, and the plans she has to get back in excellent shape, thanks to Weight Watchers.
She tells People she wants to set realistic goals for herself and not push herself farther than she can reach, lest she fails.
The focus is not on losing a certain number of pounds, Jessica explains, but on being healthy and feeling good in her own skin.
“I think anybody who's gone through a pregnancy, after they have the baby, it's like, 'I need to do something about this.' For me, I really want to do something that is a lifestyle, because in the past, I've been known to yo-yo diet,” the star says.
She was on Weight Watchers before she became pregnant too, but she ditched it because she wanted to really enjoy that experience.
As of now, her doctor hasn't cleared her yet for physical exercise, but it will probably happen in a matter of a couple of weeks.
“There's not a goal weight – I just want to feel normal and fixate on inches. I really want to set small goals, so I'm constantly reaching goals and not looking at something so far ahead,” Jessica further says.
In a post on her Facebook page, she invites her fans from all over the world to join the program and get in shape with her.
“It’s official, I’m joining Weight Watchers! The cool thing about the program is that it focuses on healthy habits for the long-term (and I can still indulge in my guilty pleasures every now and then too),” she writes.
“I have actually gotten a group of friends together who are going to be doing it with me. You can join me too and we can share our experiences!” Jessica adds.
Jessica and Erica welcomed their daughter at the beginning of the month. As the video below will confirm, she plans to get back in shape before she walks down the aisle.
